Insulin dependent - FBS 100; PPBS 126; - 32/20 units of 50/50, 30/70 morn/even - shall I take tablet form?

Answer 1

Insulin does not come in tablet form so I am not sure what you are referring to. There are many diabetes meds out there but only your doctor can help you decide if they might helo you or not. The Fact that you are on a medium dose of insulin with good results pretty much makes me think that meds would not benefit you much but only your doctor can decide that.

Answer 3

If you are a Type 1 diabetic, you need to remain on insulin. There is no such thing as "tablet form" or oral insulin.

Some Type 2 diabetics can take oral diabetes medication (this is NOT insulin). You would need to discuss this with your doctor. If you are a Type 2 on insulin, more than likely you need to be using it. There is a slight chance you may be able to go onto oral meds if you are overweight and have not made any lifestyle changes, and you make the effort to clean up your lifestyle. It really depends on how "far" your disease has progressed. Of course it's never too late to make changes, but only your doctor can decide what is best.

Answer 4

Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

If you are serious about not being falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work--we both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what did it for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 5

As of now your blood sugar control is excellent!!

But also remember, it is only because of the Insulin you are on.

And the name itself suggests 'Insulin dependent' ... So you got to be on Insulin forever.

Again, try to maintain your current blood sugar level and you will do good.

Best Luck.
